Breakfast briefing: Facebook Lite, Guitar Hero and Alan Turing

• After details first emerged last month, Facebook has launched its Lite version for those with slower broadband connections. The move is part of a growth strategy to expand the social networking site globally - something we elaborated on a few weeks ago.

• Courtney Love, the widow of Kurt Cobain, plans to take legal action against Activision for their representation of the former Nirvana frontman in the latest version of Guitar Hero - blaming them for breaching a contract over the way they have included his image in GH5.

• Gordon Brown has apologised for the "appalling" treatment of computing pioneer Alan Turing, reports the BBC. The statement was issued in response to a petition to get official recognition for Turing's career, which included groundbreaking developments at Bletchley Park, but ended ignominiously when he was found guilty of being a homosexual - a conviction which led to chemical castration and, ultimately, his death.
